What game(s) are you playing at the moment?

[Don Vecta]

YAY~! Got all trophies in Yakuza 4! Playing EX-Hard in New Game+ was a breeze. The main story is actually pretty short (this is you also skip the long dramatic cut scenes).

Yakuza 4 - Ironically. Amped for HD re-release of 1&2
Diablo 3 - Don't have the time to argue it's case, plus, you can't debate against determined internet idiots.
Mortal Kombat - I was born without the "give-up-on-a-game-after-3-months" gene.
Max Payne 3 - Nostalgia for the old games pushing me on through the repetitiveness.
Alice: Madness Returns - Got it for 3 quid, thought I'd give it a razzle.
Pac-Man DX - Now and Forever.

Got time to argue for it against me?

Honestly for a game that tops SFxTekken in how not to treat a fanbase, I'm surprised anyone is still playing it. Especially with Torchlight 2 incoming.

But anyways, right now I'm not playing anything, too busy with moving.

No I haven't, its completely pointless and a total waste of time. I've heard all the arguments, seen all the jokes, and read all the articles, both the true and the completely misinformed ones and I'm at peace with them all.
Everything in this game is justified, if people want to disagree with me that's fine.

Above ALLLLL that, arguing about videogames is boring as shit and doesnt achieve dick.

[hybridial]

Maybe not but I'm at a loss when it comes to Diablo. And hell, most of the people I know who were huge fanboys of 2 just don't like 3.

And seriously, is the always online for single player justified when Blizzard ballsed up their servers so bad? I mean that's less about the game and more about the company, and as far as the company goes, they've never given me a reason to go near any game they've made especially in the last few years.

And as I've been known to say, I don't think anything's hurt PC gaming more than Blizzard have creatively. Not piracy, not consoles, but the shameless conceit towards a strange addiction that so many people seem to have with gaining items with slightly higher stats than what they have. Obviously Blizzard aren't the only ones doing it but they did start it.

I for one would rather play Divine Divinity which kind of focuses more on accomplishment and survival than loot. Kinda wish there were more CRPGs like that in the Ultima mold.

Diablo 3 aka The Stock Market.

If I designed an RPG, either the only equipment you have is equipment exclusive to your character, or it's all obtainable by merchants, a very specific monster drop, quest rewards, or a secret treasure chest.

All these RPG's want you to grind for random drops.

Why can't they be like Zelda. Plow through a dungeon, earn your super cool new equipment reward that you need to progress through the game.

That's what we need. A Zelda style online rpg you can play with friends, on top of pimp character customization.

PSO 2 is looking pretty boss. I had a razzle on the JPN beta. Thats got customisation up teh ass, worth looking into on release ah reckon.

Yes, it is boss.

What ship do you play in, btw?

[OrochiLeonaUK]

^ I only ran about for a day then deleted it. I have a habit of over-playing betas and ruining my excitement for the full game, didn't want to do that again
I forget what ship I played in, glad to see someone else here is into it.

Yep, sure is awesome to see someone else is into such an awesome MMO like PSO2. The game is so fun and addicting that I won't even lie.

Yeah, sounds about what I would want to. If the Elder Scrolls MMO is anything like the single player games then they should be more like that with the best loot being dungeon/quest rewards and self crafted as opposed to loot drops.

As for what I'm playing, just now, Warriors Orochi 3 and Castlevania: Symphony of the Night.

[TheDuskwalker]

Darksiders II

I'm having a lot of fun with it, combat's much faster and smoother than the first. Also it's a RPG kind of what Wild wants, minus the online part. Probably still too much of a loot fest for someone like Wild, but it still kept the Zelda inspired themes of the first one. While you get loot drops, and the best loot drops for beating dungeon bosses, for main melee weapons and armor, you also do get your super cool new equipment to progress through the game for finishing the main dungeons as quest rewards. First main dungeon got me a gun.

There are rare possessed weapons that you feed with generic weapons and armor to level them up and choose upgrades each time they level. I assume once you fully level these up they're the best weapons in the game. Takes me back to the Dark Cloud 2 days.

You still purchase combo upgrades/new moves though.

Mortal Kombat 9

Persona 4: Arena at the moment

[Eddie]

I borrowed Metal Gear Solid 4 from my brother last week and beated last Saturday. It was better than I expected but not the second coming of Christ with lasers that the fans tried to hype.

I'm back at Catherine, beated the Clock tower (6th night), going closer to the end while trying to stay in the good graces of Katherine.
Also been playing Terraria again, I managed to beat the Wall of Flesh thus unleashing the unholy hell that is the hardmode (If you didn't understand what that means, i'm getting killed... a LOT, by the new monsters)

Might re-install Fallout 2 again.
